Is the 720S as bad as people say it is?

I go over the things I have heard people HATE about their McLaren 720s's. I show them and decide if the 720S is as bad as people say on KZread.

    Everyone's experience is different. I love hearing people that have/had 720's with no issues. That wasn't my experience. I started with the 600lt, and loved it! Had it for about a year and decided to swap up to the 720s. In many ways I'm glad that I did. The 720 was SO fun, and the power difference was noticeable! Which is something I wasn't so sure would be the case before I owned them both. The first 6 months of the 720s was pure bliss. However after that, things went downhill for me. The ECU burned out, a day after I got it back from service. Of course the ECU was covered, but it took about 8 weeks maybe longer, to get a new one shipped over from the UK. The car drove even better after the ECU, but then started having suspension failures. Then the windows stopped working. All in the span of about 2 months. At that point, I gave up on it and sold it. Having said that and having owned 2 McLaren's... The pro's of a McLaren is that it's a great drivers car. Great value in terms of the speed you're getting at the $250k+ price range. Most people are probably cross shopping to Lamborghini and Ferrari, and the McLaren is faster. However, the con's of McLaren that I didn't take into consideration, and at that time didn't even know to take into consideration.. are the lack of "Brand". (And the reliability concerns are very, very real). And what I mean by that, is if you own a McLaren, you're experience with the dealership/service department is like owning a Honda Civic except one that will potentially give you a new headache every 90 days. Whenever you need to to come in for service, it's entirely on you to get your car there and figure out a way home. Again, with McLaren being my first venture in the supercar world, I thought nothing of it. However, I traded my daily driver (GWagon) in for a new Urus. And that's when my eyes were opened. Lamborghini has a "Brand". They've sent 3 drivers out to my house for various reasons. I left a spare key at the dealership to my wife's car. They needed another signature on the contract. I couldn't figure out a certain feature.. Each time.. No problem, someone came to my house and took care of the issue. Upcoming service appointments? You guessed it, someone will come drive my car to the dealership and drop it off when it's done. The experience has been NIGHT and DAY.. Mind you, it's a Urus, not a Huracan. So I'm leaving reliability concerns out of it. Though so far, no issues on the Urus. But I can say, I wished I started my relationship with Lamborghini earlier, and bought a Huracan instead of the 600lt back in the day. One last thing on the "Brand" as well. Lamborghini flew me out for a VIP weekend at the Daytona 24hr race. Private jet, beachfront condo, catered food, open bar, hot laps before the race, paddock passes during the race, urus shuttles during the race for exploring the grounds.... Something McLaren hadn't done. And doesn't do from what I've heard from various owners. There's a sense of community lacking at McLaren. And that really is a shame. TL;DR - I won't be buying another McLaren. I will be buying more Lamborghinis.

    @@Busterburg yet another thing I didn’t touch on. The depreciation curve on McLaren is harsher than Ferrari or Lamborghini. I typically like to buy ‘The Weeknd Car’ used (but still under warranty). The reason I sold the 720 was because I felt like the value was gonna tank soon. Especially once they announce the new/refreshed 720S that’s coming out. Didn’t want to be left holding the bag after that announcement. I love McLaren and wish someone else would take over. Whether through an acquisition or just a change in leadership. The potential is there for sure! But they fall woefully short of what they could be! Also it would alleviate their never ending financial troubles. I liked owning the McLaren and loved how much less common they were to see out in the wild vs Lamborghini/Ferrari. But I eventually succumbed to the Italian seduction haha!

    It’s a race car built on a carbon tub. It doesn’t flex. Brakes are “harder” because they are real and not fly-by wire. The steering is hydraulic and best in business. Most people that complain about this car are used to buying “comfortable sports cars” and not true super cars. This is borderline hyper car level with its build and performance. I love driving mine and not had but one issue since I bought it (accumulators). Had the 765LT ones installed and zero issues after that. As you mentioned, being tall (I’m 6’2”) and wish I had the manual seats. If you keep the car plugged, you wouldn’t have any issues with CEL. The Lithium battery has a small processor attached to it that reads voltage and tells other systems what’s going on. If any of the sensors detect low voltage, they trip. Easy fix: turn the car off then back on. I daily mine and love it. It’s addicting and cannot see myself going back to a 911 after this. Traded a Huracan on my 720s and don’t regret it one bit. Thanks for the vid.

    I wasn’t clear with my working on the carbon flexing. Or more precisely I didn’t articulate my full thought. I meant the tub is carbon and the panels are thin aluminum so the aluminum flex is and the tub doesn’t which causes shifting in the panels sometimes. At least that is what the dealer told me.
